DWGL _ Chapter - 45

Chapter 45: Out on a tour why not stay over after all the kisses?

"If I had known that you would come to see the Lotus Lantern, I should have stayed across the street earlier." Duan Bai Yue said, "The view is wider."

"It's not like a little doll watching the lanterns, you have to squeeze to the front to see it clearly." Chu Yuan smiled and looked at him, "You said to yourself, the palace is too boring, come out to get some air."

This is the busiest street in Wang Cheng, even with the windows half covered, you can still hear the noises from below, the hot sugar oil cake is fried in the pot, the aroma instantly goes up to the second floor, full of sweet fragrance.

"Do you want to eat?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Chu Yuan nodded: "Hmm."

“Wait for me." Duan Bai Yue got up and went out the door.

Duan Yao stared at the next door and said, “I want to eat too.” How can it smell so good?

“Be obedient and bear with me.” Nan Mo Xie continued to lie on the wall, stretched out a hand and patted his head, “Wait for the master to take you downstairs to eat hot food."

Chu Yuan stood by the window and watched Duan Bai Yue cross the street, crowding with a group of small dolls to buy sugar cakes, and then entering the dim sum store next door afterward. When he finally came back, he didn't forget to bring a few packs of beef offal braised flavor.

"Try it." Duan Bai Yue said, "Every day, I can see people lining up for this restaurant's marinated flavors, so it should be pretty good."

“The owner of this shop used to be the imperial chef in the palace.” Chu Yuan didn't use chopsticks either, so he squeezed a piece of beef liver with his hand to eat. " Later, he accidentally broke his leg once, so he left the palace and went to live in his hometown in Jiangnan for three years, but he missed his son and daughter-in-law in Wang Cheng. He just came back a few years ago and couldn't help but open this Bafang braised flavor restaurant.”

“Remember so clearly?" Duan Bai Yue was surprised.

“Try it." Chu Yuan said, “You should like it."

Duan Bai Yue casually took a piece of beef tendon and threw it into his mouth, nodding: “It's not bad.”

“Just not bad?" Chu Yuan looked at him.

"Hmm?" Duan Bai Yue thought for a moment, "Or else I'll brag a bit more? Crispy but not mushy, moderately fat and thin, reddish in color, and melts in the mouth."

Duan Yao and Nan Mo Xie swallowed their saliva next door, slightly hungry.

Chu Yuan shook his head and said, “When you were eight years old, you entered the palace and said you liked to eat this. You also said that you would send a cook from Xinan Mansion to learn from it in the future.”

Duan Bai Yue: “...”

“I knew you forgot." Chu Yuan said leisurely, "You are not allowed to eat today."

“A plate of braised flavor more than ten years ago, it's not unforgivable to forget it, is it?” Duan Bai Yue moved a chair and sat next to him, “Here, I haven't forgotten anything important."

“For example?" Chu Yuan asked.

"For example, it was said that one day in the future we would return to Xinan together." Duan Bai Yue said, "You could have promised me at that time."

"Huh?" Chu Yuan learnt from him and supported his cheeks, "I can't remember, I forgot."

"As long as I haven't forgotten." Duan Bai Yue helped him to blow the cake to cold, "It's a bit hot, eat slowly."

"What is that?" Chu Yuan saw a pile of scattered cloth bags in the corner.

Duan Bai Yue said, "Disguise items." After all, Wang Cheng is not like other lands, there are quite a few officials who know him, in order to avoid trouble, it is better to be careful.

Chu Yuan came close to look at his face.

Duan Bai Yue laughed: "It doesn't matter, the skin is thick, not like you."

"Is it worth it?" Chu Yuan asked.

Duan Bai Yue said: "Worth it."

Chu Yuan looked at him for a moment but did not know what he should say, he is also a frontier king, but even walking on the street openly is an extravagant hope, is it really worth it?

"You're imagining things again." Duan Bai Yue sighed, reached out and pinched his chin, "All said, do not regret what happened back then."

Chu Yuan's voice is very low: "Nowadays, when you are mentioned in this world, you will be cursed."

"Who said that, not long ago, there was also a princess who wanted to marry me." Duan Bai Yue did not take it seriously, "Besides, what can be cursed back and forth is just a wolf's ambition, plotting to do wrong. If I care about this, then I've eaten too many worms."

However, Chu Yuan did not say anything, still lost in thought. Over the past ten years, the two of them have used each other, and have also lived and died together, said too many words, did too many things, long ago did not know what he is thought in his heart. Even now, occasionally he still will be in a trance, feel unable to see the person in front of him, and also cannot see the future of the road.

"Why is it so quiet next door?" Duan Yao was unsure.

Nan Mo Xie gave him a "hush" and gently opened the door of the room, which had tiptoed over to the door of the room and continued to listen.

Duan Bai Yue also frowned and looked at him with some concern: "What's wrong?"

Chu Yuan stroked his cheek with one hand and kissed him with his eyes closed.

Outside the door, Duan Yao was full of excitement and also followed his master's example to sneak over here, ready to listen to the wall, but Nan Mo Xie took a handful from his neck and forcefully pulled him back into the room.

The little baby can't see it. He will learn bad things.

The touch on his lips was too real, and something seemed to break in his mind. Duan Bai Yue was stunned for a moment, then he held his waist and pressed the person heavily against the wall.

Chu Yuan just looked at him and didn't speak.

Duan Bai Yue's eyes were a little bloodshot, and he didn't know what to think in his heart. But he never thought that one day he would take the initiative to cross the fragile line that both of them had carefully concealed for so many years.

Even if it is just for this moment, do not think about the country or the world, knowing that after an impulse may be irreversible, but also do not want to care about it again. Duan Bai Yue lowered his head and kissed the person in his arms, Chu Yuan's eyelashes trembled, and the tip of his tongue was soft and rolling, like dodging more like catering.

Don't know how long it took, Duan Bai Yue slightly loosened his arms, but he didn't want to let him go, and kissed him again.

Chu Yuan reached out and pushed him away, his ears a little red.

The room is very quiet.

After a while, Chu Yuan said, “I'm going back to the palace.”

Duan Bai Yue said, “Don't you want me?”

Chu Yuan: “......”

Duan Bai Yue smiled softly, stepped forward and pulled the person into his arms: “Sit for a while, and I will take you back.”

“Go and meet Gu Yunchuan tonight." Chu Yuan said, “He may really have something important to look for you."

“Hmm." Duan Bai Yue agreed.

The laughter of the people came from outside the window, and there were hundreds of lotus lanterns floating on the river, dangling and winding in a string.

Chu Yuan stood by the bed, watching the lights go out of his mind.

“Make a wish?” Duan Bai Yue hugged him from behind, “Maybe it will come true."

Chu Yuan said, "May you be well and happy in this life.”

Duan Bai Yue shook his head: “It's not me, it's us.”

Chu Yuan held his hand around his waist, slowly clasped his fingers, and leaned back in his arms.

By the river, Liu Dajiong was eating osmanthus dumplings with Tao Rende, and naturally it was Tao Taifu who paid for it.

“Next time I will find the emperor to approve the folding, and you will offer your grandson as a treasure." Liu Dajiong complained, “Don't implicate innocent people."

"Your head is not fresh it, just croaked to the ground, the emperor has not seen, thinking about it." Tao Rende said, “My grandson is making trouble in the palace every day, and the emperor’s headache will back."

“You have sinned a lot." Liu Dajiong said, “Our emperor didn't want to accept concubines. If he saw a likable doll, he might be able to change his mind. Now it's more and more dead."

"How dare you talk about me." Tao Rende threw down his spoon, "You are a matchmaker every day, but you don't have a match for the emperor."

"That's our Emperor, how can an ordinary person be worthy of him." Liu Dajiong said, "For a concubine, need to be good-looking and come from a noble family, and need to know the cold, know the heat and know the way forward and backward, so tell me, how many families in Wang Chang can match?"

Tao Rende shook his head repeatedly, "There are none in Wang Chang, so we'll look outside. We’re going to the North Palace in a few days, so take a closer look along the way. My eyelids have been jumping lately, so maybe there's a match."

"Listen to my advice, your eyelids are jumping because you've done too many bad things, how can you have the ability to jump out of the marriage." Liu Dajiong's face is full of dislike, "Moreover, you see this spot on your head, thousands of times do not give our emperor a full face of pimples."

Tao Rende felt that sooner or later, he would be angry with this matchmaker.

Duan Bai Yue also happened to ask: "North Palace?"

“Hmm.” Chu Yuan nodded, “At the time of year, I will go there to live for a while. To see the people along the way, and also change the boundaries to broaden your horizons, is the rule set by the father." After speaking, he paused and smiled again, “But I always think that he thinks it's too hot in Wang Cheng, so he finds a reason to avoid the summer."

Duan Bai Yue said: “Yunde City is located in a deep mountain, and it is indeed much cooler than here.”

“How about you?" Chu Yuan asked, “Do you want to go back to the southwest?"

Duan Bai Yue said, "I won't return.”

“After being out for so long, are you not afraid of border chaos?" Chu Yuan turned to look at him.

Duan Bai Yue said: "When you have seen it with your own eyes, you will know that the southwest border is probably the most stable border in Dachu, and it depends on more than just force to suppress it. Previously, the seventy-two villages of Miaojiang had their own camps, and they were plotting to poison each other every day, just to compete for that little bit of house rations. Now that after reunification, everyone has a house to live in and a field to cultivate, and Xiana Mansion will give rewards from time to time. The days are good. They are no more ambitious and skillful than those fierce bandits and wolves in Mobei. Even if they are united, they can't turn over the big waves, and they can't even get out of the southwest, let alone Wang Cheng. Why bother to blame themselves.”

“You also have a day when you say that other people are ambitious." Chu Yuan touched his chest with the back of his head.

“When will I take them to raise a big flag, and you say that when the news reaches Wang Cheng, will that Tao Taifu be stunned?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Chu Yuan was dumbfounded: “Can this also involve Tao Taifu?”

“He scolds me every day, and you won't let me fight.” Duan Bai Yue put his chin on his shoulder, “I can only talk about gossip." Very wrong.

Later in the evening, the people watching the lotus lantern gradually began to disperse, and Duan Bai Yue also sent Chu Yuan back to the palace.

Nan Mo Xie and Duan Yao were lying on the windowsill, watching their backs go away, almost sticking out most of their bodies.

Don't stay in the palace tonight!

Eunuch Sixi was taking a nap in front of the palace. He opened his eyes when he heard the noise and saw that both of them had already returned. He breathed a sigh of relief.

“During this time, is there anyone who can come to me?" Chu Yuan asked.

“No, Nobody." Eunuch Sixi smiled, and the emperor will go out for a stroll with peace of mind in the future.

“Then take a good rest." Duan Bai Yue said, “I'm going to see what's going on with Brother Gu, and then--”

“Then you went back to the inn to rest." Chu Yuan patted his side face, “You haven't slept well these days. After talking about things tonight, it's midnight again. Don't run around anymore."

“Okay.” Duan Bai Yue smiled, “Then I will come to see you tomorrow night."

Chu Yuan nodded and watched him jump over the courtyard wall and leave, feeling a little wanting to laugh.

The movements are getting more and more proficient.

“Your Majesty,” seeing that he was in a good mood, Sixi was also happy, and said from the side, "Do you want to take a bath?"

“After a while, it's still early." Chu Yuan said, “I'll go and see folding again."

Sixi: “......”

Chu Yuan looked at him with a smile: “I know, I will come back to sleep earlier.”

Sixi said yes again and again and helped him to the imperial study room.

The folding is still the same as before, and things are still not too few. Chu Yuan's mood is much better than yesterday, and he even has a smile on his face.

Eunuch Sixi was beside him, it seemed that there still had to be Xinan Wang.

Half an hour passed in a flash, Chu Yuan put down the fold in his hand and Eunuch Sixi hurriedly said, “Does Your Majesty want to go back to the palace?"

Chu Yuan pressed his stomach and said, "Pass some food.”

Eunuch Sixi was a little unresponsive when he heard it at first glance, but then he turned around and hurriedly said, “What does Your Majesty want to eat?"

“Everything is fine, the sooner the better.” Chu Yuan put his chin on the dragon case, “I'm starving to death." Although he bought a lot of braised beef with oil cake in the inn, I didn't eat much at all. When I first returned to the palace, I didn't feel it. After reading a few folds, my stomach was grumbling, and I almost had to stick my chest to my back.

Eunuch Sixi trotted down and ordered, and soon an attendant brought a food box. It was opened with the porridge and side dishes that Chu Yuan had often eaten before, as well as a sweet soup and a tea-flavored snack.

“Your Majesty uses it slowly." Sixi arranged the dishes and chopsticks for him.

Chu Yuan asked, “Is there any meat?"

Sixi: “......”

What?

The cook in the imperial dining room hurriedly caught fire, the ribs were chopped loudly, the broth was fragrant, and the surrounding circle of little eunuchs were swallowing their saliva. The hot dishes were rushed to the imperial study room. The imperial chef was horrified, saying that it was too late to cook the dishes, and asked the emperor to forgive him.

Chu Yuan took a bite of the poached fish maw and said, "It's very good, thank you.”

The royal chef instantly smiled with joy, and after thanking him, he followed the attendant out of the royal study.

Sixi was waiting by the side, saw Chu Yuan eat fish and meat, nibbled seven or eight ribs and did not stop chopsticks, and said to eat Stewed Deer Feet. So, he was wondering, this Xinan Wang will take people out, how do not give food, see to the emperor hungry.

……

That night, Chu Yuan was alone, ate the best meal of his appetite.

In the Yuanyue Building, Gu Yunchuan was playing the zither on the railings, and Duan Bai Yue leaned on a pillar and said, "Seeing how Brother Gu's technique is like this, I think after a while, you will be able to receive customers."

Gu Yunchuan's hands paused, and one of the strings of his zither broke.

Duan Bai Yue was sitting opposite him.

Gu Yunchuan's eyes were puzzled, and he looked at his waist: "Where is the Split Cloud Sword of the Royal Master?"

"I gave it to Yao-er." Duan Bai Yue poured himself a glass of wine.

Gave it to Yao-er, but why did he hang such a piece of broken iron on his waist? Gu Yunchuan couldn't help himself and asked, "Can you lend me this ...... precious sword to have a look at?"

Duan Bai Yue said crisply and efficiently: "No."

Gu Yunchuan: "......"

"Why do you want to see me?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

"It's related to the Tiansha Sect." Gu Yunchuan replied.

Duan Bai Yue paused and looked up at him.

“I went back to Menglan Island to find old friends, and I passed by Southwest when I came back." Gu Yunchuan said, “After Lan Ji was killed, the Tiansha Sect was like a piece of sand. Needless to say, the rest of the younger brothers had already rolled up their burdens and looked for a way out. The four guardians of the sect had no intention of staying anymore. After each took their property, they set fire to the Tiansha Sect. I thought this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that the four guardians were all killed some time ago.”

“By whom?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Gu Yunchuan said, "Lan Ji.”

Duan Bai Yue frowned suddenly.

“Or it's Lan Ji's ghost." Gu Yunchuan said, “The other three of them were all killed by one move, their chests were black and fleshy, and they looked like the white bone claws that Lan Ji practiced. After the news broke, the people in Jianghu knew that it was not good, so they wanted to save the fourth guardian first, but they were one step late, and they only had time to listen to her say the last word, saying that the person who claimed her life was Lan Ji.

Duan Bai Yue said: “She was seriously injured that day and fell off a cliff. Is she still alive?”

“That's why I said, maybe it's a ghost." Gu Yunchuan raised his eyebrows, “All Jianghu sects in the southwest are investigating. I heard that even Riyue Villa will send someone to go, so I didn't join in the fun. I'll come back and tell you about it first."

Duan Bai Yue nodded: "Thank you.”

"If she didn't mess with the Xinan Mansion, this is a matter in which Your Highness should not intervene." Gu Yunchuan said, "This time I also asked, Menglan Island is located in the South China Sea, but not many people have heard of Tianchen Sand, it is not certain whether we can find it. The Golden Silkworm Thread is very poisonous, so don't be careless."

Duan Bai Yue laughed: "Now I'm like a sick child, everyone in a new place, have to think of asking for medicine for me."

"Interesting friends like Your Highness don't come around often, it's better to live for a few more years if you can." Gu Yunchuan poured him a full glass of wine, "If you're not doing anything tonight, stay here and drink at Yuanyue House, it's not as good as the wine that Wang Ye personally brewed, but it's been stored for more than ten years."

Duan Bai Yue nodded, "Good."

Gu Yunchuan clinked glasses with him: "Get married early."

Duan Bai Yue: "......"

"Ahem." Gu Yunchuan said, "To tell the truth, when I passed through the Xinan Mansion in this time, Auntie Jin pulled me to talk for half a day, saying that she was looking forward to Wang Ye marrying a wife to extend the generation, and that her eyes had cried and gone blind."

Duan Bai Yue: "......"

Inside the inn, Duan Yao was so sleepy that he insisted on refusing to go to sleep, wanting to listen to his master's story about his brother being a saint of love.

The night watchman was banging his gong on the street, and Nan Mo Xie slapped his hand hard.

He didn't come back until now, so it's obvious that he stayed there.

It is not a disgrace to the teacher.

The next morning, Duan Bai Yue returned to the inn, and saw Nan Moxie and Duan Yao were lying on the table and sleeping sweetly.

......

“Brother." Hearing the noise, Duan Yao got up in a daze.

“Why do you want to sleep here?” Duan Bai Yue frowned.

“After chatting for too long, I fell asleep before I knew it." Duan Yao yawned hard.

“What are you talking about again?" Duan Bai Yue sat at the table.

Duan Yao and Nan Moxie said in unison: "Talk about how much pomp you will have when you get married in the future.” After all, that is the emperor.

Duan Bai Yue stuffed a spoon into his brother's mouth.

Duan Yao Bah bah: “This fell to the ground last night!”

“Nonsense.” Duan Bai Yue stood up, “All go back to sleep."

Nan Moxie asked expectantly: "Can we cook a red egg?”

Duan Yao's face flushed, ready to inform Xiao Er excitedly at any time.

Duan Bai Yue sat by the bed: “I was in Yuanyue House last night.”

“Yuanyue House is good, it has all the items." Nan Moxie patted his thigh.

Duan Yao consciously covered his ears, he didn't know what an object was, and he hadn't peeked at the small storybook at all. He was pure.

Duan Bai Yue said, "With Brother Gu.”

Duan Yao said in disappointment: "Huh?”

Nan Moxie's smile froze on his face.

Duan Bai Yue didn't bother to say much, pulled out the broken iron from his waist, and drove the two of them out.

Duan Yao squatted in the corridor, holding his cheeks with both hands, and sighed with Master.

"Ugh!”

After a few more days, Chu Yuan really drove out of the palace and went all the way east to the north palace of Yunde City.

Since it is in order to understand the people along the way, he naturally will not be in a hurry, along the way stop and go, three days to the next city. The carriage stopped at the courier, Chu Yuan pushed open the door of his room, saw a large bouquet of flowers on the table, he did not know where to pull from.

Duan Bai Yue leaned against the beam of the house and watched him smile.

“Come down." Chu Yuan stretched out his hand.

Duan Bai Yue turned over and jumped to the ground: "Why is it so late, I have been wandering in the city all day.”

“It was hot on the road, so everyone took a break for a while." Chu Yuan wiped his sweat with his sleeves, “It's also hot in this room, and the ice cubes won't be delivered until later. You don't know how to wait outside."

Duan Bai Yue laughed: “I was really on the tree before, but a group of little dolls and monkeys came to climb the tree and were almost discovered.”

“The dignified Xinan Wang, avoiding a group of little dolls.” Chu Yuan patted him on the chest, "Shame."

Duan Bai Yue held his hand and was about to get close to kiss him, but someone outside the room said, “Your Majesty.”

Chu Yuan suddenly pushed him away.

Duan Bai Yue asked, “Can I go out and beat him up?"

Chu Yuan said, "No.”

If you can't, you can’t. Xinan Wang squatted on the beam of the room and watched Tao Rende enter the house.

In his previous life, he should have owed this old man a lot.

“After all this hard work, why didn't Tao Taifu rest." Chu Yuan said, “Do you have anything to do with me?"

“Back to Your Majesty, there is." Tao Rende said, “There is a Yuelao Temple near this station--”

“Tao  Taifu." Chu Yuan interrupted him, displeased.

"Your Majesty, listen to the old minister to finish." Tao Rende speeds up his speech and says, "This Luelao Temple is very spiritual, and the day after tomorrow happens to be the Begging Harmony Festival, so there are quite a number of brocade handkerchiefs hanging in front of that Marriage Tree, all of which are the daughters of the waiting boudoirs with a single needle and a single thread--"

“Sixi!" Chu Yuan said loudly.

“Your Majesty." Eunuch Sixi trotted in.

“Send Tao Taifu back." Chu Yuan ordered.

Tao Rende wanted to say something else, but Chu Yuan had already entered the inner room.

“Tao Taifu, let's go." Eunuch Sixi whispered in his ear, “Don't make Your Majesty unhappy, we'll talk about it later."

Tao Rende sighed in his heart, and then retreated after thanking him.

Liu Dajiong was watching the show under the tree with his hands in his hands.

I knew that you would definitely be kicked out.

He said that his eyes were jumping and that something good was happening.

Nice ass.

"Look, it's not like you're going to let me beat him up." Duan Bai Yue squatted in front of him.

Chu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.

Duan Bai Yue asked, "Luelao Temple, are you going or not? I will take you there."

"No." Chu Yuan drew back his hand.

Duan Bai Yue got up and sat down next to him, "I told you it's quite effective, so let's go secretly and take a look and come back."

"You love to watch the fun so much?" Chu Yuan grabbed him by the ear.

"Maybe it can really seek a marriage." Duan Bai Yue hugged him into his arms, "At least we can tie a knot together, huh?"

Chu Yuan's chin rested on his shoulder, and he lazily said, "Uh-huh."
